The military is at odds with him as he is putting them into harms way and pushing them to waste resources in Iran.
Source?
To the extent he’s purged someone, he’s fired very few people.
He’s personally fired few people (who were however all top brass members), but his admin also banned trans people from the military and imposed facial hair standards meant to harass black people into leaving.
He doesn’t have the support from the military to create a junta any more than Bush jr. did after 9/11, and Bush was a scion of the Deep State, with his CIA/President father.
Uh… any evidence Bush even wanted to pull such a stunt?
If the secret government wanted Trump in power permanently, then they’d already have suspended democracy.
And deal with a revolution/civil war that they might actually lose? Consolidating power under the pretense of democracy is the only logical play here. And besides, the people who want this to happen aren’t “secret” in any sense of the world; they’re tech oligarchs like Musk and Thiel and other billionaires. They’re also, you know, the almost 1/3 of the population that will back Trump in whatever he does. MAGA meets all the conditions necessary for a fascist overthrow of democracy, and their ostensible opposition barely even cares.
Very difficult to suspend democracy without an attack on US soil, which Iran is incapable of. Considering that Trump isn’t the ideal vehicle for a dictatorship in any form, and his age would make such a reign incredibly short if by some miracle it were to occur, I think we’re safe.
If you told me a President Vance were planning to rule forever, then I’d be concerned. As things stand, the US has a lot of fascist elements, but it’s impossible for them to coalesce into a Trump dictatorship.
Trump’s cult of personality has no successor. He is MAGA, and he doesn’t have what it takes to hold a longterm autocratic government. He’s already becoming senile, just like Biden and there’s not much to be done about that, and you’re worried he’ll somehow become an immortal dictator? What even is your plan to prevent such a thing? Since fascism is here, do you even own a gun?
Kash fucking Patel disbanded the team that looks for credible threats from Iran right before we started bombing the shit out of them. That’s a blatantly, obviously dangerous action and context. The only reason it’s not a straight up false flag attack is essentially a technicality, and because Iran hasn’t actually tried anything (yet).
